ZW-Mercury-PIA12365.jpgRising Mercury (Natural Colors; credits: NASA and Lunexit)57 visiteAs MESSENGER approached Mercury for the mission's 3rd and final flyby of the Solar System's innermost planet, the WAC acquired images through all 11 of its narrow-band color filters. The 1000, 700, and 430 nanometer filters were combined in red, green, and blue to create this color image, the last close-up color view that will be acquired until MESSENGER goes into orbit around Mercury in March of 2011. Only 6% of Mercury's Surface in this image had not been viewed previously by spacecraft, and most of the measurements made by MESSENGER's other instruments during this flyby were made prior to closest approach. The observations from MESSENGER's third flyby of Mercury nonetheless revealed fresh surprises. Check out the NASA Science Update Telecon held today for details about some of these new surprises.
Date Acquired: September 29, 2009
Instrument: Wide Angle Camera (WAC) of the Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS)
WAC Filter: 9, 1, 6 (1000, 700, and 430 nanometers)
Resolution: 5 Km/pixel (about 3 miles/pixel)
Scale: Mercury's diameter is approx. 4880 Km (about 3030 miles) MareKromium

Molto probabilmente.MareKromium

PSP_007124_1765_RED_abrowse~0.jpgProposed MSL Landing Site in Miyamoto Crater (MULTISPECTRUM; credits: Lunexit)57 visiteMiyamoto Crater is located in South-Western Meridiani Planum (and South-West of the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity Landing Site).
This image shows fairly smooth plains and some areas covered by Windstreaks.
The streaks suggest that wind is an active process here, depositing surface material downwind in this distinctive form. This Landing Site is adjacent to the Hematite-bearing plains unit where the Opportunity Rover sits.
The CRISM instrument has detected Phyllosilicates (Clay Minerals) at this Landing Site, which scientists believe to have formed in the presence of water.
The Mars Science Laboratory rover would investigate the mineral diversity here, which includes Phyllosilicates and Sulfate Minerals.
